Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 225: Black Soil Zombie

Chapter 225: Black Soil Zombie

It wasn't that no one targeted Yingchun County Grain Storage before since the apocalypse started. There were even many factions who tried to attack this place.

But the outcome wasn't good. They didn't even open the gate, instead just increasing the number of zombies.

Of course, some people came here at the start, so a few scattered grain bags showed the moldy grain inside.

But that was just a tiny number that told Ye Zhongming that there was food here.

"Charge!"

He roared, and the team sped up, approaching the gate.

Ye Zhongming led the way and sliced the iron gate. Along with it falling, a dense horde squeezed out from inside.

This stunned the team. This grain storage had high walls, and there weren't many here, so how were there so many zombies inside?

But no one had time to find out. They couldn't retreat either, so they charged right in. They had to slice down everything in front of them to complete the mission.

Ye Zhongming used Flame Blade for the first time today.

This move was strong, and the zombies in the path towards the grain storage were cleared out—the high temperature left burnt corpses that gave out a weird meat scent.

The team charged. Little Tiger slashed, and the door to the granary was sliced open.

What they saw were white stacks of grain bags.

Grain!

The thought rose in all their hearts. Joy and surprise replaced the rage and excitement they had when they were fighting the zombies.

That meant life!

The order of the apocalypse was messed up. No one planted crops; no one farmed so that the grain would become more and more expensive. Apart from the wheels, one could only get food from hunting. But that was dangerous. One couldn't only survive on meat, either. Humans were already used to eating crops, so it wouldn't be something they could remove from their diet in a short time.

So everyone knew the meaning of these bags of grain. As Ye Zhongming said, these grains were enough for them to use for a year. If they used meat along with these, they could survive for 1.5 years.

Little Tiger walked in, but at that moment, Ye Zhongming felt a chill down his spine.

"Little Tiger retreat!"

Ye Zhongming shouted. He ignored the zombies around and charged right in. He was slicing towards the left of the door.

Full Strength Light shone and brushed past a black matter.

Little Tiger fell to the side of the granary.

Ye Zhongming focused and saw a black thing sticking to his left hip.

"Black Soil Zombie!"

His eyes opened wide.

This mutated zombie was strong, but compared to other zombies, it was disgusting.

The skin and flesh of this zombie had turned into a sticky black matter. It attacked by firing this sticky thing. Then it would move near the prey, wrap it up with its black body, and then digest it.

This mutated zombie would be terrifying when it reached a high level. It could shoot out tens of thousands of soil patches and easily turn into a ball of skin to wrap prey and absorb them. Then they would move back to the main body and merge back perfectly.

Not only was this black soil sticky, but it also had a neurotoxin. Like the Sand Bug, it caught one off guard.

The conditions to form such a mutated zombie were strict. He didn't expect to bump into one here.

Ye Zhongming slashed the black soil on Little Tiger's hip to slice away that squirming thing, but he didn't hurt Little Tiger.

Apart from Xia Lei, Ye Zhongming was the only person on the team who could do it accurately.

"Ah!"

A soft but ear-piercing scream spread out from the left of the granary. The Black Soil Zombie was so angry that Ye Zhongming sliced its black soil away.

Ye Zhongming pulled Little Tiger back so Park Xiuying could use Gentle Chain on him.

Although he didn't know what level that zombie was, to occupy the granary meant that its level wasn't too low. There was already a toxin in the soil, so although Park Xiuying couldn't remove the toxin, she could still make Little Tiger feel better.

He thrust Moon Edge to the side, and one zombie was pierced in the head. He flicked it up and tossed it into the granary, using the momentum to rush in.

Hu hu hu!

Three black shadows shot out and hit that zombie. Each one accurately hit a crucial area. The black soil was really strong, and it is evident that the Black Soil ZOmbie was furious. It even caused that zombie's bones to cave in.

Ye Zhongming was now able to see what was going on inside. On the left was a soft and mushy zombie standing there. That mutated zombie had lost its human shape, and it looked like rubber that was about to melt. Either that or it looked like a candle about to burn out.

Level three!

Although he knew there was a chance he would bump into a level three lifeform, his heart still jumped the moment he saw it.

He didn't fear level three lifeforms with his current strength at all. Ye Zhongming was sure he could defeat them as long as they weren't very strong.

But he didn't expect to bump into such a high-level monster right away, then…

He charged in without hesitation.

He had to solve the dangers in the granary so that the coolie team could move these grains away.

"Boss, I am okay!"

Little Tiger shouted and joined back in. Park Xiuying's quick heals prevented most toxins from entering his body so that he could recover quickly.

Of course, another reason was that this Black Soil Zombie was only level three. If this were a level five or higher one, even Ye Zhongming would be paralyzed if he was hit.

"Follow the plan!"

Ye Zhongming slashed toward that zombie and informed the team to follow the plan.

Little Tiger and the others stood back to back and occupied space on the sides. Yellow Ball was right in front and preventing the zombies from getting close.

Ye Zhongming faced the strongest attacks of the Black Soil Zombie.

This monster wasn't quick, so it was impossible to dodge Ye Zhongming's attacks, who had the golden grade Blood Stepping Boots.

Maybe it realized that too. It didn't dodge. It turned its black soil into black rain that covered Ye Zhongming.

At the same time, a few windows on the walls of the granary were broken. Several shadows dashed over. Just from the smell alone, Ye Zhongming knew they were level-two zombies, over ten.

It was obvious that this level three zombie had recruited many brothers. The boss was being attacked, so they rushed over.

Ye Zhongming couldn't use Flame Blade here because he feared burning the food. But the situation was terrible for him. Dozen of level two zombies jumped down to attack him, and in front of him was the black soil rain. This was probably that zombie's talent skill.

Retreating was the only thing he could do.

Ye Zhongming was calm. He activated quickness. His body that was charging forwards suddenly looked like it was going against gravity, and he stopped. He retreated. While retreating, he pushed with his legs to jump into mid-air.

Black Soil Rain rubbed the bottom of his shoes.

Ye Zhongming raised his head and slashed. He used Full Strength Light to attack those level-two zombies.

Ye Zhongming could quickly kill one level-two zombie now. Three would be a minor hassle, but he could still kill them. If there were five, he might have to pay some price. Either he would be injured, or he would use some mental energy. If ten, if not needed, Ye Zhongming would retreat.

This had nothing to do with him being a coward. If you faced danger and didn't retreat, you were a fool.

But he couldn't retreat. He didn't dodge those zombie skills. He was in mid-air, so that he couldn't dodge either. He couldn't use his strongest move that could turn the tables.

But he still attacked.

Sometimes, this was needed. When you reached such a position, you had to face some things.

Even if you had to pay the price.

Blood splattered from his body.

This was one of the few times since the start of the apocalypse that he got injured. But he didn't blink at all. He used his momentum and the fact that the zombies had jumped from above, which helped shorten the distance. He slashed, and blade light flew out.

Ye Zhongming lost some mobility mid-air, but the zombies were the same. The blade light slashed across their bodies and sliced them into two.

Their attacks hit Ye Zhongming, and blood splattered.

Level two, apart from those defensive ones, nothing could stop the blade.

Ye Zhongming had no defensive gear, so that he couldn't block their skills too.

Ye Zhongming landed, and only five level-two lifeforms were alive. He jumped up again when he landed and sliced at the Black Soil Zombie. He kicked with his right leg, too, at the chest of a level two zombie.

Kick activation!

This skill that consumed 100 mental energy to deal two times the damage left a shocking hole in its chest. From the front, one could see out from the back. Even its spine was set flying with that kick. It wanted to move forwards, but its body and head weren't supported, and it fell to the ground.

The blade light sliced onto the Black Soil Zombie and caused soil rain to scatter.

At this moment, there was an intense fighting sound from the outside.

The team that drew the zombies away was back, and the full-scale assault had begun.
